I use Pinboard, which doesn't sync to browsers at all, though it does import from them and there are extensions for most(all?) browers. It has excellent tagging capabilities. Every once in a while I switch browsers or do a fresh install of one, over time set up the bookmark toolbar. In theory it would be nice to have that stored in Pinboard, but on the other hand being forced to rethink what I most want easy access to can be a good thing. Having a different set that sync to mobile would be good.

With a monthly fee, Pinboard archives all of the pages you bookmark, so that handles dead links very well, and as we've all learned by now I hope, if we like a service we're usually better off paying for it than suffering ads, or the buyout from some giant corporation that will end or ruin it.

The managing that I would really like to see is the ability to view bookmarks based on tag in a graphical way with overlapping circles (think Venn diagram), and edit the tags on a bookmark simply by dragging it from one part of he overlapping circles to another.

Durrell's vontsira, named in honor of the late conservationist and writer Gerald Durrell, was first photographed swimming in Madagascar's Lake Alaotra in 2004. Subsequent surveys confirmed the mongoose-like creature was indeed a new species. Durrell's vontsira is the first new carnivorous mammal discovered in Madagascar in 24 years. Little is known about the species, which is roughly the size of a cat.

Ward just announced on the eclipse blog that he is leaving the Eclipse foundation in order to take a job in which he directly promotes Wiki culture.

Ward says, "In a week I will join AboutUs, a wiki company founded in 2005, as Chief Technology Officer. I'm honored to join their team. This company understands the power of the wiki concept and how to put it to productive use."

Ward is well-known for a few widely disseminated ideas which he originated and developed. Among these, the most famous are the wiki (named after WikiWikiWeb), and many patterns in the field of software patterns, including the collection of patterns and practices that later became known as "Extreme Programming" or "XP." Wikipedia has more about Ward..."

Does this move by a Ward perhaps signal that wikis and the wiki way are finally making it to the mainstream?"
